👋🏼 I'm leaving this site. It was a good party. But I've been hanging by the drinks for a while now, increasingly creeped out, & it's time to back slowly out of the room. I'll lurk for a bit, re-up this message periodically, & then go. Find me at Bsky &/or Mastodon as @OlyaOliker.
🇺🇦 @CrisisGroup CEO @EroComfort was in Kyiv to attend the @yes_ukraine conference. Comfort met with Ukraine's Foreign Minister @DmytroKuleba and the Deputy Prime Minister for European & Euro-Atlantic integration of Ukraine @StefanishynaO, among many other #YES2023 participants.

As evidenced by this mini thread, @NataliaAntonova is herself worth reading. Would add that this war is super-gendered, & you should seek out analysis that recognizes that, e.g., @jgmaber @charlicarpenter (btw, if you're seeking Ukrainian voices, I'm not one. Natalia is)

15 years ago today, Russia followed a five day war with recognition of Georgia's South Ossetia & Abkhazia as independent states. What is life like now on the line of separation? @CrisisGroup's @Olesya_vArt & local residents explain in this mini-doc youtube.com/watch?v=FFb_Js…

Isaiah 10: 1-4@Mylovanov I have already clarified my view (not that it will do me much good). A number of stories are citing what I said selectively, and blowing certain phrases out of proportion. Nowhere do I propose Ukraine stops fighting because it faces pushback at UNGA. x.com/richardgowan1/…
There are stories claiming I think President #Zelenskyy will "fail" at #UNGA78. To clarify, I *do* think that many #UNGA members want peace, and may be critical if he dismisses diplomacy. But as I told @AP UNGA is an *opportunity* for him to engage them.apnews.com/article/un-gen…

This point from @OlyaOliker is critical and has been my guiding editorial philosophy at Orbis--encouraging debate to lead to "clearer arguments and better policy." (From her comments at bsky)

“How is this war affecting daily lives? How does that feed into decisions made at the top?” It’s so simple, when you think about it, but bone-headed stupidity utterly prevents people from even engaging these subjects.
War isn’t just things that go boom and pew pew. War = social dislocation, refugee crises and their exploration by creeps, sexual violence, historic grievance, children and elderly victims, etc, etc. I am SO tired of “analysis” that completely disregards these issues, damn.
Imagine creating some sort of master list of whom to follow on Russia’s war, and barely including any women. @OlyaOliker, @OlenaHalushka, and @rynkrynk are right there. And sorry if Ukrainians, women especially, aren’t “objective” enough for you. Some dudes are simply clowns.
